Lolita Chic

[mimmy]

Just coined the expression in another thread. What do you think?

I'm thinking we'll see it coming pretty soon. Here's why:

1. Think of the recent young doll models (Starting with Natalia, leading to Gemma, Lily, etc)
2. Then consider the fact that loli/goth fashion has been HUGE in Japan for some years
3. Think about Perry Ellis' pink ribbons and white lace dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs' kindergarten collection, Alexander McQueen's short girly Edwardian dresses(Edwardian is, btw, also going to be a huge trend, I think) and Viktor & Rolf's ribbons. There are probably more as well.
4. Put that together with the fact that we haven't seen this trend yet, and therefore it is bound to come eventually.
5. Also, I personally can really feel it. Think white linen bodices, cute ribbons, fluttery dresses, golden hearts, ankle socks. Very pretty.

I hope you're right. It's all so girly and cute and totally fits in with the sort of stuff I like to wear. I love that white Perry Ellis dress with pink ribbon. So cute!

Loads of trendy older-teens dress like that in Newcastle...mary-janes, floaty flimsy sherbet pink dress and innocent smile.

i guess the ones i posted are a bit more subtle...easier to wear when you're a bit older...

 

[softgrey]

But you also posted the most adorable white dress I have ever seen a couple of posts ago.
I'm in love

If i knew where to get it i would fly there right this minute. I want that dress!!!

I think you're right about this being part of the boho trend, by the way.

If I were an editor for Vogue, my list for the essentials of this trend would go something like this:

Satin ribbons
White cotton or linen lace
Babydoll dresses
Golden heart pendant
Flower prints
Ankle socks
Striped tights
Plastic toy accessories

Got more ideas?
